- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382,696, dated Mayis, 1888.

Application filed December 27, 1886. Serial No. 222,633- (No model.)Patented in Germanyd'une 12, 1886, No. 38,318.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PEROIVAL EVERITT,;a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, residing at London, England, have invented a new and usefulImproved Lock or Apparatus for Automatically Closing Receptacles forCoins and other Articles, (for which I have obtained a patent inGermany, No. 38,318, dated June 12,

- 1886,) of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved lock or apparatus forautomatically closing and locking bags, tills, and other receptacles forcoin, letters, or other articles when the said receptacles are removedfor the purpose of being emptied, and for automatically opening the saidreceptacles, when they are replaced.

To the mouth or opening of the bag or other receptacle I adapt the frameof the lock, the

said frame having an opening through which the coins or other articlespass to the bag or This opening is closed and other receptacle.uncovered by a tongue piece, bolt, or flap, which works within the lock.The said tongue-piece, bolt, or flap is so placed and arranged that whenthe ba g or receptacle is placed in position a fixed key opens the saidtongue-piece, bolt, or flap, and when the bag or other'receptacle isremoved, the'said tongue-piece, bolt, or flap is closed and locked. 1

In order to enable my invention to befully understood, I will proceed todescribe the same by reference to the in which- Figure 1 is a verticalsection showing a lock or apparatus constructed according to my inforcoin or other articles applied to part of a weighing-machine such asthat for which Letters Patent were granted tome, dated February 9, 1886,No. 336,012, in its open position. Fig. 2 is a plan of devices shown inFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the locking device and mouth oropening of the bag when the same have just been removed from themachine, the said device being consequently closed. Fig. 4 is ahorizontal section on line AB of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a similar view toFigl 4, but showing the locking device and mouth of the bag open. Fig. 6is a vertical section,

accompanying drawings,

the fixed key thereon. Fig. Sis a view of the loose key for opening thebag.

.Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.

7 iIn the drawings, a represents the portion of the weighing-machine towhich the bag to receive the money is to be applied.

,bis theusual metal mouth or opening of the bag. h

c isthe frame of the l the said mouth I). I 7

dis the opening in the said frame which the coins passinto the bag. I

e is the tongue-piece,bolt-, or flap, which is pivotedat f to the frame0, within which frame the said tongue-piece, bolt, or flap e worksthrough the slot 9 in the side of the frame c.

h is a lock mechanism of any suitable construction. The tumblers i ofthe lock mech- 6 ock, which I adapt'to through anism are slotted at j,and in the said slots works the pin or bolt k, fixed on the flap e.

Zis a slot-hole inthe flap e for the bit of the key to work against.

m is a pin overwhioh movesa slot, 11, inthe flap e, for the purpose oflimiting the inward movement of the flap.

o is the fixed keyon the bottom partlot' the I weighing-machine. v rWhen the lock is fastened,thelfiap e is in the position shown in Figs. 3and 4J-'-that is to say,-

the metal mouth or opening b of the bag is coveredandis'retainedin itselosedposition by the pin or bolt j of the slotj.

Toapply the bag to the weighing apparatus,

the key-hole p (shown in dotted lines in Fig.

k and recessOr enlargement .2) is passed over the fixed key 0, Figs. 6and 7, and the apparatus or device being-then turned in the direction ofthe arrow, Fig. 2,

the bit of the key will move the tumblers t'so that the pin orlbolt kwillbe free of the recess .7

j,'and the flapc will then be turned by the key into the position showninFigs. 1,2, and

5, thereby opening or uncovering the mouth I) of the bag, and the partswill be'looked inlthis position.- Pins a (shown in dotted. lines inFigs. 2 and 7),0n the weighing-machine limit the turning of the bag andlo'ck- 'frame, and the bracket q helps to hold it in position. Whenthebag is to be removed, it is turned Ioo in theoppos'ite direction to thathereinbefore described, and the reverse operation will take places-thatis to say, the flap e will be turned so as to cover the mouth bof thebag, which can then be withdrawn from the fixed key 0, and the flap ewill be securely locked over the mouth of the bag, as shown in Figs. 3and 4. The bag can then be opened by a separate key-such as is shown ats in Fig. 8-and the contents of the bag removed. The flap 6 must then beclosed and locked by the key, Fig. 8,

and the bag will be again ready to be placed its side, combined with alock, and a tongue or flap having a key-slot and pivoted to said frameand co-operating with the slot therein, substantially as set forth.

2. The mouth-piece b and frame 0, provided with a slot in its side,combined with a lock whose tumblers are slotted at j, and a tongue orflap pivoted to frame 0 and provided with a key-slot and with a pin orbolt, is, substantially as set forth.

3. A hopper or like device, u,provided with a fixed key, 0, incombination with mouthpiece b, slotted frame a, and a pivoted tongue anda lock, substantially as set forth.

4. The hopper a, provided with a fixed key and with a bracket and pins qa, in combination with a mouth-piece, slotted frame 0, and pivotedtongue 6, and a lock, substantially as set forth.
